Coach Frank Beamer was pleased with Vick's precision on deep passes, but he isn't discouraging Vick from running the ball. While Vick said he's only looking to run when he's in trouble, Beamer knows his quarterback's legs are too dangerous not to incorporate in the playbook. I thought one time (Saturday) he could have pulled it down and probably ran it for 10 yards, and he kept waiting for a guy to come open, ... He's such a threat with whatever he does, whichever way he goes he's going to be OK. But I think he needs to take off and run for 10 or 15 (yards) every once in a while, and I'm not sure it wouldn't turn into about 25 or 30.
More Quotes from Frank Beamer:
I reminded our players about it in the dressing room after the game. We've been a very good football team so far, but it's only four games into the season. The last time we went to West Virginia we were six games into the season and feeling pretty good about ourselves and we got whacked upside the head.Frank Beamer
I feel fortunate getting out of here with the win. I really thought our guys hung in there. The play wasn't always pretty.

The line is coming along. Orion Martin gives us a fourth defensive end, and we really like him. I think that's a key for us. If we've got eight (defensive linemen) and can rotate four at a time, and stay fresh, we can get after it.

Marcus is a good person. He made some questionable judgments, but as far as working hard to get back and making this a successful ending, he's done everything that we've asked and has had a great summer of preparation and a great preseason of preparation.

I made this statement many times. If we can just get the best players from the state of Virginia and keep them here at Virginia Tech, then I really believe we'll play for a national championship, and we've been able to do that once and hopefully we can get back to that game.

I think it's got the makings of a heck of a Thursday night football game. I think they're better. They talk about they're back in the title hunt, and they are. They control their own destiny.
